Mutant fish in Norway
The collection of exotic salmons and fishes mutants of the Barents Sea was filled up by a huge cod.
The collection of exotic salmons and fishes mutants of the Barents Sea was filled up by a huge cod: the other day the Norwegian fisherman has caught a cod weighing nearly 60 kilograms and long about human growth.
It is noted that the hooked fish is 8 kilograms more than a world record which also, as well as this case, has been registered in the Norwegian province Finnmark.
- She was very heavy, at me even the equipment by means of which I tried to pull out her has broken. Fish had a mouth of such form which I didn't see earlier. It was ugly, - the author of a strange catch fisherman Tonni Laursen has noted.
It should be noted that dark waters of the Norwegian fjords lately especially often "give" to the world of the most fancy sea inhabitants. Not only the cod, but also the well-known Norwegian salmon mutate and get the ugliest outlines today. Huge abnormal perches are also found at coast of Norway – strangely enough, near oil platforms of the Statoil-plattforme Heidrun company. Recently the employee of such platform managed to trick a huge big fish weighing 13 kg with a fishing line.
Naive Norway rejoice to such abnormal sea inhabitants while ecologists sound the alarm. The problem is that according to Ecological chamber of Russia, Norway refuses to sign the international agreements in the field of environmental protection and continues to store waste of mining production to the Barents Sea - Norwegians "bury" dangerous chemical dumps of mining productions at themselves in sea fjords. The Norwegian institute of sea researches has conducted a detailed research of such impact on sea biosystem. Disturbing conclusions: the fragile biosystem suffers, sea currents carry compounds of heavy metals far away from Norway including to coast of Russia.
The Norwegian enterprises annually store in the sea nearly all table of Mendeleyev, including thousands of tons of sulfuric acid, sodium, phosphoric acid, carbonic acid and acrylamide. It apart from solvents and heavy metals among which there is a copper, nickel, lead, zinc and mercury.
Through sea borders of fjords where this waste burns, ways of migration of a cod lie. The wild salmon comes to spawning to the same bays. Further all this fish larded by harmful elements floats to the Barents Sea, along all extended Arctic border of Russia.
Not smaller if not the big prolema is local farms on cultivation of the same praised salmon.
The Norwegian activist, ecologist and founder of the Norwegian Conservation Union Kurt Oddekalv says that "in Norway a situation with fishes catastrophic. There is too much fishes: on small farms they grow up 2 million individuals! Fish is ill, already it is possible to speak about a pandemic: the necrosis of a pancreas and infectious anemia of salmon have taken all Norway. But it is hidden from consumers" — Curt says.
"Him it is necessary to wear gas masks and protective suits not to suffer from chemicals for processing of reservoirs from parasites, and on such farms it is not a rarity. It is possible to find the most various chemicals in such salmon. It threatens with poisoning, and to the person it is it is impossible" — he has told.
"The bottom under farms is covered with 15-meter rainfall, it teems with bacteria — all this the remains from forages and waste of the chemicals added for extermination of parasites. Pollution level very high. Toxic substances, fish excrement … The seabed is completely destroyed, it as gas factory".
The main problem of the Norwegian fishers — a so-called fish louse who, parasitizing on a body of fish, can kill her. The sea louse develops resistance to any kinds of processing therefore fishers apply pesticides which efficiency is much higher. "It negatively is expressed on fish. So 50% of whitebaits of a cod on farms are born with a mutation. They can't close companies. It is a gene mutation and that it has disappeared, 8 generations have to live in the sea. Is her won't want, but if to cut off the head, then nobody will notice" — he has told.
The words of the Norwegian ecologist are confirmed also by the French toxicologist Gérôme Ruzzen who has noted that during his research Curt's words were confirmed. "Really, extent of pollution of the grown-up salmon very high. It is 5 times more harmful also toksichny, than any other products. These toxins need to be avoided, and eating, we risk to suffer their influence" — he has told.
Curt directly says: "The Norwegian salmon — the most toxic food around the world". However fishery in Norway brings more than 5 billion dollars a year and takes the second place after oil, therefore these facts are carefully suppressed. So fishermen of all colors in the Barents Sea are waited ahead also by even more fancy catches.
Comments of "BIOnika" company
In contrast to the cage aquaculture, the RAS system helps to avoid the risk of discharges of industrial wastewater into water resources, the risk of exceeding the norms of the amount of pollutants in wastewater, and completely excludes the possibility of penetration of fish raised in the RAS into the habitats of the marine population, thus avoiding negative environmental consequences.
In addition, there is no water pollution factor by biological waste, such as waste products of hydrobionts, decomposition products of dead individuals and elements from the composition of feed.
Object systems exclude the possibility of penetration into RAS of elements from outside, such as microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, chemicals and pathogens.
Growing fish in RAS has quality benefits relative to wild fish and fish grown in cage farms, which are caused by the absence of invasiveness and fish diseases, as well as maximum control of water quality and used feeds.
